Godzilla

I need a MAX like Now. Sign me up if possible.

Is toy-wave's website down?

Yeah, but my point was that the "most common" appearance should be the "main" one, and the "first appearance" should come only later, if ever.

Thus, the first Cover Girl figure we get should have auburn hair, and then, maybe, possibly, eventually later---a blonde one. But do not make blonde, then make us wait for a "normal" one.

I agree with that. Make the variants later like they are doing for Flint. However, they need to hurry up on the cartoon version of flint.

6 black CCs??? Wow. I thought there was a limit of 1 per customer, that's what I had read on hisstank.com.

By the time I hit the site, there were no blue CCs left in stock.

I ordered then reordered, and then reordered again. We will see if they allow for it. I cannot I beleive I sat for 45 min for the blue cc and i couldnt get it.

Managed to place an order for one of the SDCC Cobra Commander (black) with podium exclusive figures from HTS.com!!

I think they're sold out now, but keep checking, because they might post more stock!!

And don't forget the promotion code for 10% off: COMIC2008!!

Good luck.

Aw crap. I was in a hurry to get the fig I didnt use the promo. I got 6 black CCs. I was screwed for 45 min on the hasbro server. I had the 1 blue cc in my cart but the servers dumped. I am quite upset I dont have a blue CC.

That's an awfully reddish-brown shade of blonde then:

Watch the mass device. She was introduced as a blonde when she and timber got the bobbytrapped canister that contained the radioactive crystals out of the base. Covergirl wikipedia. Later in the cartoons she was a redhead to follow the figure that was released for the Wolverine.

I think Short-Fuse didnt not have glasses in the cartoon. Look at the original 5part series. I have to agree with the Steeler. Looks tame to me. I also miss Steeler's visor. I for one would rather have the mauler especially where he can sit in the turret.

The original figure of Short-fuze was one of the three or so generic heads (the same as Hawk's if I recall) with a visored helmet, but in the comics (and I believe the cartoon) had him with glasses and I, for one, am happy he's got them (I was going to convert my extra Doc to a Shortfuse). I do sort of wish he had the correct webbing that he and Zap had and not the typical Hawk/Grunt/Snake-eyes/etc one....

Speaking of comics/cartoons/figures, I am disappointed with the Steeler that comes with the Armadillo and Serpentor... and not for his 'Duke arms'. Very lackluster. It may just be nostalgia (Steeler and the MOBAT were favorites as a kid and he's my one MIA as he was lost in sandbox), but I liked the way the original Steeler looked and the new one just doesn't cut it. His webbing is a single shoulder holster (which is like the old design), but doesn't fit right and unfortunately leaves a lot of his shirt bare... and the shirts on the 'original 13' 25th anniversary figures look like really tight, form-fitting shirts. I'm thinking of getting an extra Vamp and giving him the same vest as Clutch, which will keep the holster, but give him a somewhat bulkier look. And while I like the head sculpture and it sort of works for a Polish-descended steel town native, it looks a little old for the brash, young lieutenant Steeler was. Part of me almost wishes for the semi-wild, definitely non-regulation mop of blonde hair he had in the cartoons, even if I usually prefer the comic look for the Joes... it was distinctive if nothing else.

And speaking of the MOBAT, I REALLY hope they do some remodeling of its figure compartment. The old MOBAT was always small in terms of scale, but old figures can stand up to their waists in it. 25th figures, though, barely get mid-thigh deep if you're lucky and it makes it look ridiculous having someone exposing 3/4ths of their body in an armored vehicle. At least Steeler will keep his kneecaps safe, I suppose....

This line's killing me. I'm in the process of trying to move away from toy collecting... running out of room and it often hinders certain pursuits (I've been lucky to mostly date women who don't obviously freak out about shelves of toys) and yet the 25th line still pushes out figures I want....

So there is no lottery then? If so, I feel a lot better that I have a shot at it.

the one on ebay has gone to 300...and shipping is a full assraping without lube...only hardcore collectors enjoy this...

This quote is priceless. I was laughing so hard at my desk that my boss is asking what I was laughing at.

Eels gets a helmet? That is so cool. But no gun? Well time to dig out the extra joe weapons I have. That is cool though. It gives me great hope for a Wetsuit with a removable helmet. I thought shortfuse had a visor not glasses? Also, they need to make a new Leatherneck. This Mission Brazil look is meh. Man that is the original Beachhead and mainframe I was looking for. I am happy with what they are gonna release. So far. This made my day.

Dude, your reply was so flip floppy... they should, they shouldn't, they should, they shouldn't. I want the Max as a wide release so I can just order it, but I'm not gonna pretend that I'm a bigger expert than the guy making decisions in Yamato. My point is why dont you calm down until you get all the info... a wise man once said on this topic... it's only a toy...

oh wait, that wasn't a wise man... that was you!

Who said I was wise? I never claimed that. And whoever did say it was on drugs. Just leave me alone. I am having a bad day and it goes from bad to worse. Oh well... you are right, err I was right... it is a toy.

Maybe if we stop calling them @$$HOLES,idiots and morons they'll stop hurting us.

You really think so? Then I got a bridge to sell you. I have nothing but in support of Yamato to the point I was called their fanboy when the flamewars about the toynami crappy robotech stuff they put out. I am fine if they say it was that you had to mail-in coupons but to add the lottery just adds insult to injury. I dont understand why dont they make a regular release of the 1A Max TV. Of course then again, ppl said they would buy Kakazaki and the angel birds but now they are shelfwarmers at HLJ. Marketing should be on job telling them if the release would sell in Japan especially. I know Kakazaki is not the popular character. But Max? Of course Max 1A DYRL didnt sell so well did it?

My question is how would you pay for it? I mean you write the check and if you dont get it, they return the check or shred it?

Just got my Macross Chronicle booklet, and folder. Still getting all the details for the limited valks and it`s really going to piss you guys off.

Both are limited to 250 units each.

You need to buy the first issue for the points, then buy the next issue for the application card or something like that. (Still getting the full details so not 100 percent clear).

Even if you get all required items for the limited Valks, you will be put in a lottery for the opportunity to purchase.

Full details once I can get a better translation.

WTF?!?!? ARE YOU #@$&ING KIDDING ME? GOD*@#$ @$$HOLES AT YAMATO! *SIGH* And I bet we get to see those on ebay at ridiculous prices it wont be so funny. If that is the case, I am going to our customizers here on MW. I rather them make the money and I got so many extra valks. Sure I like the new head but I cannot justify the price it will command on ebay. 250 pieces... B@stards. They make the Angel Birds and DRL Kakazaki and those didnt sell well. So this justifies their decision to "limit" the next set? Idiots and morons. All of them are. Why didnt they put the TV versions out first with the new head sculpt? ok, I need to stay calm, it is a toy. It is only a toy...

Trying to Order from Japan now but need to wait until the 2nd Chronicle then will have the details

Macross Chronicle Vol 1.

Toyman

I am all over this. If Save getrs overwhelmed, this might be a good place. When does the 2nd issue comes out?

Sorry I missed that. Talk about cool things there. I like the cosplay kids. Maybe next year for Godzilla to go. I do like the P-51 mustang colors on the valk. looked cool.

EDIT: spell check.

Wow! I can't believe I'm typing this, but it looks like my 1/48's will be transitioning back into their boxes as well replaced with 1/60's as they are released! I am stunned at how perfect this thing is!

OO

BLASPHEMY! You will anger the 1/48 gods. I am only putting one 1/60 on display with my other 1/60s but the 1/48s will stay displayed.

I dunno whether to laugh or be in complete horror based on these answers... you ppl are either sick pervs or comedians . Or both. I rather be Mikhail. I want my sniper rifle and nail those SOBs fro far away. And if you give me binoculars, I JDAM them... oops this isnt BF:Bad Company. Sorry having my flashbacks. Anyways... yes I dont mind the bonuses: messing with Sheryl and Klan.

Anyone buying the 12" Joes? I mean $15 vs the $80 Macross 12" dolls, I dunno but I rather buy the Joes.

For those who havent heard, the mail-in Docs are out of stock. You are screwed if they did cash your check. Hisstank.com has big story on it.

Hey Shin, what happened to the "Tank"? Website down?

Sucks, sounds like Flint got dropped according to toynewsi.com

Early images showed a Flint figure would also be included with this set so we went to Hasbro and asked for clarification on that. Here is what they said:

"We had originally planned on including Flint in the Mega Pack, and the image shown at JoeCon was from that stage of product development and image distribution. However when it came time for production he was ultimately cut. We hope to pursue Flint figures in the future as he is a fan favorite!"

Good, then they should make the cartoon version of him.

I curse and jump for joy at the same time.

I got 1 of 2 cases yesterday. I was going to open it till I found out my Dell Laptop died. I was on the phone with their tech support. Anyways I will get the 2nd case today. Kevin, thank you sir. As usual your service is impeccable. I am looking forward to the next ride armor.

Kyp, where do you live in GA? Or do you live in GA?

btw, am I the only one who didn't like the fact that Red Star had a GI Joe base, rather then the Oktober Guard getting it's own base?

I am there with you on that breetai.I would hope they would do all the october guards. Would be nice to have a 3rd faction with an October guard base.

Technically, I need 3 sets of the 25th anniversary Cobra Commanders. He comes in tuxedo but there are 2 variants of him. Blue and Black. Maybe we can work out a deal. I appreciate it.

Wraith reminds me of General Grievous. I like the P90 he comes with. My gripes are that Steeler still doesnt get his visor and Ace needs an airmask. Also in the Final battle pack with the Mobat and HISS, is that another Flint in desert uniform?
